EASL Clinical Practice Guidelines on the management of liver diseases in pregnancy.

Whether related to pregnancy or pre-existing, liver diseases in pregnancy are associated with a significant risk of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Thus, the European Association for the Study of Liver Disease invited a panel of experts to develop clinical practice guidelines aimed at providing recommendations, based on the best available evidence, for the management of liver disease in pregnancy for hepatologists, gastroenterologists, obstetric physicians, general physicians, obstetricians, specialists in training and other healthcare professionals who provide care for this patient population.

Detection of changes in regional colonic fermentation in response to supplementing a low FODMAP diet with dietary fibres by hydrogen concentrations, but not by luminal pH.

A modest increase in fermentable plus poorly fermented fibres had minor effects on faecal measures of fermentation, despite increases in plasma SCFA and abundance of fermentative bacteria, but the gas-sensing capsule, not pH-sensing capsule, detected the anticipated propagation of fermentation distally in the colon. The gas-sensing capsule technology provides unique insights into localisation of colonic fermentation.

Indolent cancer and pattern of progression: Two missing parameters in trial design for hepatology.

Moreover, we discuss the related-causes that explain the indolent profile of HCC and propose (a) refining the progression-related end-point by the pattern of progression to minimize the limitations of the current end-points; (b) considering alternative statistical tools for survival analysis such as Milestone Survival, or Restricted Mean Survival Time to capture the value of indolent HCC. According to these considerations, we propose incorporating novel end-points into the single arm of phase I/II CT as exploratory analysis or as a secondary end-point in phase III CT.

Gilbert´s syndrome revisited.

However, since the re-discovery of the potent antioxidant effects of bilirubin in the late 1980s, as well as multiple intracellular signaling pathways affected by bilirubin, an ever-increasing body of evidence suggests that subjects with Gilbert´s syndrome may benefit from the mild hyperbilirubinemia and are virtually protected from the development of a wide variety of "diseases of civilization" such as cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers, autoimmune or neurodegenerative diseases. This review analyzes the current state of medical knowledge given recent discoveries in this rapidly developing field, as well as their possible clinical significance, and gives a new perspective to this condition.
